City of Ember

A book by Jeanne DuPrau

Book 1 of the sequel The City of Ember.


What is it about:

"Many hundreds of years ago, the city of Ember was created by the Builders to contain everything needed for human survival. It worked…but now the storerooms are almost out of food, crops are blighted, corruption is spreading through the city and worst of all—the lights are failing. Soon Ember could be engulfed by darkness…

But when two children, Lina and Doon, discover fragments of an ancient parchment, they begin to wonder if there could be a way out of Ember. Can they decipher the words from long ago and find a new future for everyone? Will the people of Ember listen to them?"


My Opinion:

This book is about two youngsters, a boy and a girl, who meet at school. They switched their jobs and wanted to save the city of Ember. The city of Ember is falling apart, their only resources of light is a light bulb. The resources are slowly running out but what if they find another city or a way out of Ember? 

Will I Recommend it:

Yes. I will recommend it to 4th/5 graders.

The boy wouldn't stop talking to her, he would always be with her and to make thing even worse, he lives right next door. but he made her smile; made her feel happy; and feeling that she hasn't felt since her parent died. she never felt like this before. she felt love. but she was scared, what if it  mended her broken pieces, only to leave them shattered when he leaves her. she wants to let him go but she was afraid that if she let...

Talent Show

It was a hot day, in PIE ( Pondok Indah International School). My school was gigantic like a herd of elephants. On friday afternoon , I was on my way to my P.E class. Suddenly a loud voice from behind, GAYATRI, GAYATRI. It was my friend, Sanya shouting to wait for her. Sanya ran as fast as she could and reached my pace . She couldn’t wait to ask me ”Are you doing something for the fantastic, amazing talent show? ” WHAT TALENT SHOW , WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ?” I asked her ignorantly.  Sanya was stunned, that I didn’t know about the talent show, she eagerly shared that it is a show where you present your talent to the audience . OHH thats what a talent show is, thinking in my brain. “ Gayatri we have to practice for our dance also, my mom is going help us with the dance” added Sanya. “Is someone else, doing the dance with us?” I asked. “Yes, the queen of dancing Jia Thadani (Jia) is doing it too.” Chimed Sanya. “You have already asked Jia, if she wants to do the t...
